We are not "occupying oppressors," and in that regard I know better than either you or Kos. Accept it, and you'll be saner than eighty percent or so of the Kos crowd.

Now how about the longer range outlook I'm mentioning and you're not, son?

The Stateside opposition has wasted years looking and looking for some -- for any -- substitute for victory. For them our victory would be unconscionable. Fine: we should win, and these people with no faith in democracy should writhe in agonies of shame. They deserve that, and have worked diligently to get it, and they should have all that shame and more.

No one's ever been able to justify the shameful ones' point of view. It's all just fascist sympathy.

The Islamofascist opposition is banking on outlasting us. We should deny them any least hope of doing that, by scourging them over and over and over again until they no longer exist and can't generate any new ones. They have to be made discouraged, and I do not shrink at having to discourage them a lot, or for a couple of centuries. They have to be made discouraged, and it doesn't matter how much discouraging is needed. Simply attend to supplying the need. The antidemocracy, and therefore antihuman, fanaticism must be a way to a too-young death and a certain one.

Neither are most people. Reason has to line up with their personal beliefs in order for them to see it.

Not so. To be condescending, one must be talking down from a higher plane. He ain't on a higher plane.
